Jul 21, 2014

You probably know that HDTV stands for high-definiton television, but do know know what components are required to view an HDTV broadcast or how HDTV works? For a nuts-and-bolts overview of HDTV that answers these questions and discusses why HDTV should be an essential element of every Phoenix home theater installation design, continue reading below.

What is HDTV?

HDTV signals support a higher and more concentrated volume of pixels than analog signals and cathode ray tube televison sets. This is the short answer for why HDTV is defined by clear, sharp, vivid images that can enhance the home theater viewing experience. Since HDTV is broadcast digitally and can be easily compressed, it requires less bandwidth than analog television in spite of its high resolution picture.

What is Required for HDTV?

Since HDTV is broadcast through the airwaves, it is important that you have an ATSC or DTV tuner. Many HDTV sets have built-in tuners, as do some video game consoles and other home theater accessories. If you intend to have a digital satellite package in your home, you may need additional equipment.Your Phoenix home theater installation professional or cable provideshould be able to help you with this.

How Can I Prepare my Phoenix Home Theater for an HDTV Experience?

An HDTV compatible TV and HDTV tuner are the essential ingredients to an HDTV experience, provided that you have local or satellite access to HDTV broadcasts. In addition to purchasing this essential equipment, you should work closely with your Phoenix home theater installation professional to get the lighting, spacing, and electric wiring just right in your home theater. For an optimal experience, you will also need comfortable home theater seating furnishings and an excellent sound system.
